Don't know why, but simple things like that worry me.

How, you've spent £24M on 1 decent striker for that. No. We've spent 18m which rises to 24 if all add ons are activated. Caroll is a good player, and very promising, but 30 million for a young player with a decent season in the CCC and half a good one in the top flight is an awful lot of money. We don't need to sell though.

TonyBarretTimes Tony Barrett LFC bid for Carroll is 25m. Newcastle trying to set value by claiming 30m? Sparking an auction?

There's a surprise.

Danny Graham.

Throw in Kuyt and Poulsen though... I'd want an extra £20m on top if they threw those two into the deal.

Ashley. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/30/liverpool-fernando-torres-chelsea?CMP=twt_gu Oh I do hope so. Another over-rated player to add to their squad, perfect.

That sad thing is you made it up/believed whoever told you. Prove it. You prove it. Oh, that's right, you can't.

I hope he does well so we can get rid then I really don't care if I never hear about the lad ever again Why the sudden change in feelings towards him?

KEVIN NOLAN. DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO KEVIN NOLAN Fail.

I agree with all that except the bit in bold. PFA young player's going to be Bale. He may get the main one! He shouldn't win either. £35m plus? Christ, a lot of people on here must be substance abusers. So he's worth nearly as much as Torres then? Gerraway. He's a great player but, at the moment and given that he's still inexperienced compared to his peers, we'd be lucky to get more than £20m for him in my opinion. Personally, I think that Spurs' offer is ludacrious. As long as Nasri and Bale keep playing as they are, Carroll won't (and shouldn't) get close to winning the PFA young player award. He's scored goals, yes, but he's nowhere near as effective as Nasri or Bale. Are you drunk? No, just objective and cautious of Toon-tinted spec syndrome. Nasri and Bale have both been far better than Carroll this season and I think you'd struggle to find a neutral who would disagree. I'm not disputing that he's a good player, but a great player? Not yet, although he could be if he keeps improving. In the Premier League alone, Carroll has been better than Bale this season. A lot of the hype around Bale has come about because of his performances in the Champions League.

It's not "irrelevant". He was alright in the relegation season, but his best performances have occurred in the Championship and this season. That's not really a big enough sample size for most clubs to justify spending that much. He's not easily the third best LB either considering his complete lack of attacking game and lack of technical ability. Que? Actually you are correct, he doesn't really lack technical ability, it's more that he has difficulty completing passes and gives the ball away a fair bit. In an attacking sense, he's not a very good crosser, and rarely creates a threat in the opponents final third. Come off it.

Deserved it the way he thought he was a superstar when in fact he had just been relegated twice in two seasons and jumped ship both times. Given can fuck right off as well, injury-feigning twat. What exactly did Bassong do that pissed you off so much?

Pretty sure this was reported last week.

How did you wangle that? Do you want a lift? Ash did you get on this? Yes mate. Thanks for pointing it out, was very good indeed.

Will be going tomorrow (today), looking forward to it.

Are you Andy Gray?

I'd take that with the biggest truckload of salt in the world.
